About this product

Product Information

The title, Violent Grace , suggests a paradox. This pairing has become an unexpected gateway into the astonishingly varied and prolific artistic career of Edward Knippers. Violence conjures images of aggression while grace has long been associated with beauty, poise, or an unmerited gift, perhaps even a kind of salvation. Within the ambiguity of this fertile paradox, the art of Edward Knippers--which can initially shock and disturb--opens up into something rich and rewarding. Our lives are reflected in the lives of his biblical characters; we understand their message in our own flesh and blood. Edward Knippers grapples with the perennial human questions embedded in the Bible--a strenuous effort never satisfied until it has extracted a blessing. This is the image of violent grace. Drawn into the wrestling match, we come away wounded--and blessed--by a passionate, unreasonable, overwhelming beauty.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!

  • Contemporary look on human conflict

    I had opportunity to work with Edward in the mid 1990's via Washington Arts Group, and curated an exhibit of his large immersive paintings at BIOLA (Bible Institute of Los Angeles) in the late 1990's when I managed the gallery there. It's interesting that his exhibit was controversial to BIOLA School of Theology, who demanded that the exhibit be shut to the public, yet I along with the School of Art there pushed back to justify the exhibit's relevance. I'm honored to be custodian of one of his more "house-sized" works on paper (I suggest that we don't "own" fine art. Our purchase price helps sustain the artist to do their work, and we're allowed to hold it for whatever time we wish); I consider it iconic of the discord and discussions that occur over his exhibits (not only at BIOLA)... a ...
